  1. R1T Max Pack powering my house, thanks Hurricane Helene

    That's consistent with my experience. Heating water is really my main draw. My house (1700 sq. ft.) is exceptionally energy-efficient: I live in an earth-shelter (i.e., underground--think "hobbit hole" and you're not far off). We use about 300 gallons of propane to keep the house snug all...
  2. So do we still have to wave at other Rivians on the road or is that no longer a thing?

    I also drive a Mini, for which waving is an absolute requirement (mine is a convertible, so it's always an "outside-top-down" wave). There are almost no other Rivians where I live--I'm aware of only three others and one is a neighbor while another is a former student of mine. So in my case, it's...
  3. R1T Max Pack powering my house, thanks Hurricane Helene

    Loving this thread! While direct hurricane hits aren't an issue where I live, we get massive thunderstorms (my town was the site of a tornado that hit an Amazon warehouse a few years back that resulted in multiple deaths) in the summer and horrid ice in the winter (I'd never heard of "freezing...
  4. Trouble in Paradise: Rivian Collision Repair in Hawaii (outer island)

    Wow! Sorry for your "incident." I'm impressed by the shop going for certification--they're a keeper even if they can't handle this job! I always appreciate a vendor who recognizes an opportunity. Being in a location where "just drive a little farther--you'll find what you're looking for" just...
  5. Virginia Quad motor badge

    That's a tough question: I certainly do, but I don't like throwing friends under the proverbial bus. Perhaps they will pop up on this thread. Maybe you'll get a mysterious DM.
  6. Virginia Quad motor badge

    A few of us fortunate ones purchased these before the very generous forum member who was printing them got a "cease and desist" from Rivian. I don't understand why Rivian doesn't allow third-party creators to license their logos etc. That would seem to be a win/win. (Disney has been doing this...
  7. R2 and R3X in NYC September 24 ‑ 27

    I used to be a bike messenger in NYC (back when riding a bicycle implied using the pedals). It took little to no effort to travel _way_ faster than anything else on the road! (Ignoring all traffic-control devices, including "one way" signs helps, of course--sorry, I was young, foolish, and rude...
  8. Halloween Gary Plush

    Adorable! Given Rivian's track record, they should be delivered around Christmas of next year! ?
  9. Title & Registration Team - Expired Temp Tag

    I had the same issue and did the same as DeafPug: e-mail [email protected] I got a very rapid response and they sent me updated temp tags via FedEx the next day.
  10. Navigation Verbal Instructions

    Just a thought: have you tried saying "Alexa, turn on verbal navigation" or somesuch? But, yeah, a reboot is often a quick, easy, and painless first-step in fixing problems like this.
  11. Devastated… rear ended in my brand new week-old 2025 R1S

    Take a look at Rivian's list of certified collision centers ( https://rivian.com/support/article/certified-collision-centers ) find one (or more) in your area. Based on my own experience, as well as what I've read from others, no legitimate body shop that is not in Rivian's network will touch a...
  12. Devastated… rear ended in my brand new week-old 2025 R1S

    Now I'm thinking "massive battery pack--possibly ruptured, plus molten tar"--yikes, coulda been so much worse!
  13. Devastated… rear ended in my brand new week-old 2025 R1S

    Wow! That's pretty cut-and-dried--no ambiguity about who's at fault! Big question: does the other guy even _have_ insurance?!
  14. Devastated… rear ended in my brand new week-old 2025 R1S

    (A) I'm glad it wasn't way worse! I'm very sorry you were injured, of course, but looking at the other guy, your "tank" kept it from being a catastrophe. (B) My R1T has been in a Rivian Certified Collision Center for more than six weeks after a relatively minor fender-bender. The vast majority...
  15. Today I F***ed Up - Range Cockiness

    Glad you made it home! Your route passes darn close to me (near Hamel, IL). If you get into a bind on a future trip South, I'd be glad to lend you a cup of electrons!
  16. Apps show charge rate at 0.0kw but truck is charging as normal

    It happens to me all the time. In my case, it's due to poor cloud connectivity by the phone and/or the truck.
  17. Anyone catch Martha Stewart on Squawk today talking about her R1T?

    Martha Stewart appeared on CNBC's "Squawk Box" this morning from Paris. Just one sentence out of her interview, but a good one, she stated that she's getting an R1T and that she "love the whole thing"--shape, color, etc. and that the Cybertruck is "just too crazy." It was a nice little plug for...
